Hello It has been a tough week already and it is only tuesday!!!! Monday on my way to work I dozed off at a light and hit the car in front of me. Thank the Lord no damage was done. Sunday I had trouble sleeping and took a sleeping pill at 12:00 am and it was tough shaking it off then on Monday. And today I was running late because I was out of gas and had to stop and the boss in charge made a big deal of writing me down as late then she must have felt bad (I look pretty sick still) because she ask if I wanted to talk about it and I said I wouldn't talk about it. I seems like everything is falling apart around me I just got a letter telling me I owe more money for my daughters school and I have a week to pay it. So pray hard for me this week at the rate it is going I may not make it to friday!

Sunny-I think we are a lot alike I also have been real sensitive also. I almost cried when one of the bosses wrote me down as late! It has been cold here and I know that effects me alot.
Ez-I could use some of those rocks! I have a lg back yard and it is time to do a lot of planting. I have a very shaded yard and I have to look for shade plants. We also have had clay for soil. I wish I could afford to have several dump truck of good soil and start over.
Mitchypoo-I am glad you are have a good day. I thank God when I wake up like that! When does Charlie come back?
Standingingrace-Remember muscle weights more than fat so you may be gaining muscle and not losing lbs so don't lose faith. We have all been there and are here for you.
Sue-Not much longer until our trip!!! Can't wait! Do you have your computer back I notice you posting more.
enisenj-What time is dinner it sounds great. I had to cook for the 4th day in a row and I am tired so it is a hot pocket and chip day!
Sherry-I hate to hear that things are not getting better. I hope you have a good Dr. to help you with you disability papers because here they always turn you down the first time you apply. My friends son was dying and they turned him down! You almost alway have to have an atty to get disability.
DeenieM_Prayers for your goals. And for your outreach! I am looking forward to getting to know you better. Keep us post on how things are going.
Angel lover-I saw the post where you posted pictures of your house you look Great! I am praying for your Son as his court date comes around. Keep us posted on how you are doing.
Wilma-Do feel bad because you aren't losing as much as you should it is just Satan wanting you to give up. I aways remember if I quit I will be gaining. So even if I do not lose another Lbs at least I not gaining!

Well I know I have miss someone and I promise it is not on purpose. I need to go destress.
May God Bless you!

Good Morning CEers!!!!

Well, I have good news and bad news. Getting the bad over with first: DD's high school team lost last night in the playoffs. But they are still district champs!!! Yesterday I went to my primary Dr (which I have only seen once before because my primary I had retired). She referred me to my cardiologist (I have to have a referral for insurance purposes), and put me on an extended nitro pill that will dilate my vessels all the time to prevent the chest pain and hopefully the tachycardia (fast pulse).


But then she made me mad!!! I had her check my right ear because I thought I still had fluid behind it from one month ago, and yep she said I did. Last month she gave me a steriod shot which helped greatly. (Remember I was hearing echoing) I asked her if she could give me another shot to totally get rid of it since I had very little hearing in that ear and she refused. Told me it would eventually go away. Of course, it has never gone away on its own before. Anyway, I had mentioned how going into a smokers home would shut down my breathing so badly and told her that my allergy Dr three years ago had wrote me a note for me not to see smokers at all due to my allergies to smoke and my asthma. I asked her if she would rewrite it again since they have recently started making me see smokers again. She went into this big spill about I would need to go to an allergy Dr and be tested and that she couldn't write me a note without the testing. Fine. Then I asked her if she could write me a note about resting more and only working M-W-F so I can take my Lasix at least every other day and rest. Then she started talking about the allergy testing again, etc.... and I tried to explain it to her and she started telling me I had to have allergy testing done before she could write me a note and that really the allergy DR needed to write it. And I tried again to explain, not the allergy or smoking issue . . . . . . resting and taking Lasix. And she keep saying that I had to be allergy tested to write an excuse for smokers. She is a foreign lady so hince the language problem, but I finally just gave up trying to ask. Then, I asked her about helping me file for disability. She started going on and on about how this was only the 2nd time she has seen me and that she had not made documentation of my problems really in just two visits. But I reminded her she has a chart with nearly an inch of my previous primary's notes for years and my cardiologist's notes for about three years. But she states that she can't do anything to help me now. Maybe sometime in the future after she has seen me a while. What???? Anyway, needless to say when I went to leave, my friend the receptionist asked what day of the week, I wanted to come back in two weeks and I told her never. I explained to my friend the language problem and that really did didn't help me today at all and didn't even seem willing to. I don't need that. There are plenty of Drs out there that would do everything they can to help me. Of course, I don't know of one right now, but plan to find one. Sami~ help!!!!!

Ok, on to the good news!! My little DD's team, the Diamond Divas won again last night!!!! They were so excited!!!! That makes us 4-2. We don't play again until next Tuesday night. Whew!! Maybe I can get some rest. After leaving the Dr yesterday, I did go by and see my previous Dr who just lives a little ways down the road. I talked with him and he assured me that he would help me with the disability issue however he could. He had tried last year to get me to go ahead and file. Anyway, he told me to totally change Drs and recommended a couple in another town close to us. I will check them out.

I am suppose to go to a meeting 52 miles away for work but I'm not going. I'm tired and have 6 visits here. They will probably get mad but they just can. They never would change my schedule this week and I am still working everyday. And on top of everything else, the other nurse that works with me, I told her I had been to the Dr and I wasn't feeling well, having a real hard time, when I stopped to ask her if she knew where two of the patients were since they weren't home. (All our patients are homebound) Before I could go home and call the office, she had already called them and reported everything to them and some of her own opinions. I called to report that two weren't home and I was told, Don't worry about it, we will see to it that they are seen. I asked, what? She repeated it. Normally they just say, try to catch them one more time and then write it a missed visit if they still aren't home. I asked her if she had talked with "MIsty" and she tried not to answer but finally said yes. I then started to try to talk with her about what was going on yesterday and she abruptly said, I have a call on the other line . . . .bye and hung up. UGH!!!!! Who knows they may fire me . . . . if so, I guess they just will. They will have to replace me first. Misty can't do it all and won't do it all and I also take call every other week, so..... we will see.

standnngrace~ Thanks for the recipe. Sounds great! Don't worry about that weigh gain, brush it off and keep your goal in site. You can do it!!!!

Sami~ Oh, sweet friend, my heart goes out to you!!! {{{{{HUGS}}}}} I wish I was there to give it to you in person. I'm so sorry for your bad things happening!!! When you have bad things start the week, it does seem to domino. I pray that your week will get much better. I will pray that God's grace will be sufficient and that he will take you in HIS loving arms and give you a hug of HIS own. I'm so sorry, Sami. Yes, disability is hard here too. And they do always turn down the first time. I know two people that have died in the last year that had applied for over a year before they got theirs and then died within 3 months of finally getting it. So, I should have started this last year. But I was too stubborn.

Sunny~ Hoping the Sun will shine through very soon and brighten your world. It can definitely be very depressing. Did you know that most people develop depression in the winter when the weather is bad and they can't get outdoors? Hang in there, it will peep through soon.

Gary~ Sorry about the birthday thing!! I thought maybe you just weren't telling us. Sorry, I came back after Feb, so I am wishing you a happy birthday anyway!!!!

Michele~ Glad to hear you are feeling better. Hoping Aunt Flo doesn't over stay her welcome.

Eisenj~ Thanks for the recipe, it sounds yummy!!!!

Hope EVERYONE has a GREAT HUMPDAY!!!!!

Hi all!

Hope to post more tonight, but just wanted to say hi quick! Not doing well with the food. Not overeating, but not doing what i want to. Feeling good, although I was really tired last night. More later!

Someone asked (Sami?, sorry) when Charlie would be back. I think he said the 14th. But he's not calling anyway....

You are all in my prayers....
